Ngbernie 3rd Gear December 20, 2015 Share December 20, 2015 Thanks bro, I am not sure on the forester premium tyres. I still can't believe that motor image dun even have stock! Damn pissed in the morning haha Chill bro, and be glad that you saved significant $$ by not replacing your tyre at MI. Most ADs charge quite a bit more for their tyres compared to your neighbourhood tyre shop. Likewise for batteries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puiru 2nd Gear December 20, 2015 Share December 20, 2015 Thanks Puiru, I thought that I'm the only one who have this unusual sound from my transmission. Did u sent your car to MI for inspectionI didn't highlight this during my 1k servicing as I thought this is the normal behavior of a CVT? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

7hm Turbocharged December 20, 2015 Share December 20, 2015 I didn't highlight this during my 1k servicing as I thought this is the normal behavior of a CVT? CVTs usually have a droning/whine sound especially when being pushed with revs, but I was under the impression that most people found the Subaru Lineartronic surprisingly quiet for the technology... Or at least, most reviews I read seemed to mention a lack of CVT drone, but I guess that doesn't strictly mean no noise at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sent Neutral Newbie December 21, 2015 Share December 21, 2015 He said register 30th December and get the car only in January 8th or after. Usually the practice is a day or 2 difference. You are right, they are just want to hit their year end figures and I think that is not right. If they want to do that than there should be some form of remuneration or advantage to owners affected by their planned reporting of financial numbers. I do believe that under accounting principal they need to acknowledge only if delivery has been accepted within that month/year, so I guess they assume that registration is a form of delivery. Had a sit down with my SE and have now got a more favorable date. Register on the 11th of Jan 2016 and receive car on the 12th of Jan 2016. I hope the rest managed to sort this nonsense about having to register on the 30th Dec 2015 and collect a week or 2 later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it got sorted out. Really rubbish to get car 12 days after registrationI didn't highlight this during my 1k servicing as I thought this is the normal behavior of a CVT?What type of sound from gearbox? Mine quiet at low rpm.. could it be tyre sound? Or got stone stuck in tyre groove? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky2007 Turbocharged December 21, 2015 Share December 21, 2015 Allow me to vent today bro. Driving my sick wife and daughter to childcare when I discover loud sound from rear left and stopped the car. The tyre was totally flat with something like a big staple punching two holes into the side wall. Luckily there was a petrol station like 400 meters away. Limped the car there but alas the air pump was out of service!!! Dropped my wife and she took a cab to send my kid to school and to see doctor herself. I went into the petrol station and saw those canister for inflating sealing. Bought one at 19 and managed to inflate the tyre to like 3/4 of its usual shape and I slowly drive to loyang Stamford which was like 3.5km away. Met a kind Indian guy called andy who assess that it can't be patch and he recommend to change but he realize he had no stock. I was feeling damn panicky as I was aware of the odd size that forester xt use. I told him to just see if he can patch or inject anything to let me drive back to Subaru. He done that with a smile and when I wanted to pay, he said its free. Thumbs up to Stamford. Didn't know we can expect such personal touch from big entity like them. Called Subaru and was received by a unsympathetic lady who just repeating today car very full may not have slot, she didn't know if tyre had stock as well as the service advisor is outside. As my patch is temporary I try to hasten her to confirm if there is stock again came the unsympathetic voice that she can't do anything. 15 mins later, they call back and say no stock! How can u choose to use odd size tyres and yet dun carry any stock. Tell me stock only in after Xmas! Damn pissed and I looked up Bridgestone dealers and call one by one . Finally one had stock but was going at $300 I had no choice but to On Him. Now I am at a coffee shop eating prata while waiting for them to get stock from somewhere . From this episode I really know who I can count on and Motorimage ain't one of them ... Bro, I understand how you feel bec when u needed the car to work, it has a flat tyre.. but not all AD will stock up tyres so not really MI fault in my opinion as I wouldn't have thought of going back MI. When you purchased the bridegstone HL400 @$300.. it's not they are ripping offvyou, but these Dueler tyres are really so expensive. Saw the Tirerack pricing and it's one of the most expensive tyres. There are 225/55r18 tyres from other brands but it's really difficult to find this size.. The more common size are 235/50 or 235/55 or 245/50, 245/45. So I've changed out the tyres out to 235/50 already bec don't wanna take an odd size. On a preventative perspective, I has a small instant tyre inflator that's always placed together with my FXT spare tyre.. then no worries about being stranded, just pump air and go.. at past can pump spare tyre and changed out if the stock tyre really cannot hold air (99% of car owners never pump air into spare tyres anyway) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverkris 5th Gear December 21, 2015 Share December 21, 2015 Buying a Subaru non-turbo car is like buying laksa without hum. It still taste great to many people, but it is just not the same laksa. My view. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
